Sorry about the previous short answer.

You've wandered a significant distance from the original problem. The whole argument you give above is irrelevant. You switched to arguing that the federal government shouldn't be able to create any laws regarding employment. You can replace contraception with minimum wage and your argument is unchanged. You've moved it from a First Amendment Issue to a States' Rights/Federal Powers Issue and thus you are completely off topic.

Additionally the religious text you provide is irrelevant as the country in question is not a theocracy.

If you'd like to address the original issue, specifically why you feel a church has the right to force it's view point on non members, I'd be happy to answer. However if you continue to change the subject I won't bother.

First off your description of the situation is incorrect. The government is forcing no views on Catholics. Before this Catholics were free to not use contraception. After this Catholics are still free to not use contraception. What view is being forced on them?

Choosing to do something yourself based on your religious beliefs is religious freedom. Forcing someone else to do something based on your religious beliefs is religious oppression.

The classic example is: Your freedom to swing your arms ends at someone's face. According to you it's the person who get's hit fault for being in the way. I mean they have the choice of not standing there right?

You're saying that if random murder is a religious belief of the murder church then it's a constitutional violation if you prevent members of the murder church from murdering. Yes this is an extreme example but that is on purpose. If one's beliefs are forced on others how do you regulate it? You've forced a situation where the state has to then either sanction churches, sanction specific dogma of the churches, or permit literally any action under the logic that it is a religious belief. That's the complete opposite of separation of church and state.

Dead Rising 1&2 (from Capcom) are prime examples of Japanese designers taking things off the rail. It's mechanics driven and the story is completely dependent on what you choose to do, including multiple endings.

Also it's from an old school Japanese developer, he created Megaman.

Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy! Things won't get any better so get used to it.
